Why I Like Being Single

by Joyce Bocek, Apr 30, 2007
Personal journey through a rocky marriage and the freedom of being single.

Living alone has its perks. I used to pray for a significant other in my life,
and even though it occurs to me that I don't care for the idea of dying alone,
the freedom of being single is a priority right now.


Sometimes I eat standing at the kitchen counter or over the kitchen sink, the
automatic drip catcher. I'm not obligated to cook a real meal, either. I can
have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner.


I can stay up all night and sleep all day if I choose. I can watch what I want
to watch on TV, get a neighbor to change my light bulbs, or other little
things I cannot do for myself, clean up the house or let it go, and not be
obliged to meet the needs of anyone ? except my cat.


I think maybe I'm a bit selfish in my attitude, and that's okay. On the flip
side, nobody is obligated to put up with my quirks, moods, or drooling
(I hate to admit that I drool at night). I think it's part of growing older
ungracefully.


I'm not lacking for conversation. I talk to myself and Cleo (the cat). I even
answer myself, and then there's writing things down on paper, exposing
myself to anybody who wants to read it (with the exception of my journal).
I feel good when people read what I've written and they enjoy it!


I have been married twice. All references in this story refer to my second
husband. He had some expectations and wanted my undivided attention.
When he proposed marriage, I told him I wasn't the domestic type.
After we were married he seemed to forget that. He said that
he thought I would change. He wanted me to cook Sunday dinner like his mama
used to do. I said, “Hey, it's my weekend too, and I don't want to
spend it in the kitchen.”

啊啊，我也蠻想養貓的，我也會自言自語耶，不過大概一天幾次而已XDDD
